Beskrivning
_______________‘This intelligent, incisive account...and her cool analysis of the humanity and hypocrisy at the heart of the Israeli/Palestinian fighting is striking' - The Times‘A reader only vaguely aware of the reality behind the headlines will find much that is observant and saddening in her vivid portrait of this tribal dispute' - Independent‘This book must be one of the most honest accounts of those terrible years. It's proportionate, subtle and comprehensive ... biased towards nobody but the voices of moderation and hope' - Guardian_______________Emma Williams arrived in Jerusalem with her three children in August 2000 to join her husband and to work as a doctor. A month later the second Palestinian Intifada erupted. For the next three years she lived on the border of East and West Jerusalem, working with Palestinians in Ramallah by day and spending evenings with Israelis in Tel Aviv. This deeply affecting memoir is a unique contribution to our understanding of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and a sympathetic yet unsparingly honest account of the humanity and hypocrisy at the heart of it._______________‘I plan on giving this book to people who ask me: "What is going on over there?" Williams answers that question, and so much more' - Janine di Giovanni, Daily Telegraph_______________
